How to Delete Vultr Storage Gateway

Updated on 05 June, 2025

Vultr Storage Gateway (an NFS Gateway for Vultr File System) provides NFS access to VFS volumes from Vultr Bare Metal or Cloud Compute instances. When you no longer need a gateway, you can delete it to stop further charges. Deleting a storage gateway is permanent and cannot be undone. This action does not delete your VFS volumes—your data remains safe and intact.

Follow this guide to delete a Vultr Storage Gateway using the Vultr API.

  1. Send a GET request to the List Storage Gateways endpoint and note the Storage Gateway ID.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/storage-gateways" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  2. Send a DELETE request to the Delete Storage Gateway endpoint and specify the Storage Gateway ID.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/storage-gateways/{storage-gateway-id}" \
    -X DELETE \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
